It takes all kinds to make the world and it shows in this week's selection
of words. For the next five days we'll see words to describe people of
various persuasions. You may meet them at work or on a train, in a park
or in the house next door--almost anywhere on earth.

Here's a fun exercise for you: find at least one person epitomizing the
day's word, every day this week. With some six billion of us around there
can't be any excuse for insufficient data.
